In this presentation Dr. Dino Prato explains why pancreatic cancer is notoriously hard to treat, emphasizing the dense stromal barrier that limits the effectiveness of conventional chemotherapy and many immunotherapies. He introduces the clinic’s approach that merges interventional radiology with a proprietary “SIPPY” technique, allowing precise delivery of micro‑doses of agents directly to the tumor. By selecting patient‑specific genetic and immunotherapy targets, the method aims to breach the stromal shield, stimulate the immune system to recognize the cancer, and improve patients’ quality of life. Dr. Prato notes that, after 20 years of experience with aggressive cancers, the team has observed encouraging responses in some patients, though no guaranteed cure exists. He concludes with an invitation for viewers to submit their medical records for a candidacy review, offering a personalized, targeted treatment plan.

Pancreatic cancer, very difficult cancer to treat. Anywhere you go and you look around, it's difficult cancer. But I want to give some good news to you. There are options that may help, and one of the keys to this is some of the techniques we've worked on in non invasive surgery. Now, it's been around, interventional radiology has been around for a while, but when you combine that with our sippy technique, and you combine that with genetic targets, immunotherapy targets, we're able to, to get to the tumor with right microdosing and impact that cancer and impact it in a very positive way, and turn on the body's immune system to start recognizing pancreatic cancers. Now, pancreatic cancers are difficult to treat for several reasons, but one I want to mention here, they can have this really stubborn stromal barrier, right? This really strong, if you will, protective barrier. So that makes it difficult for chemo, even adjuvant support, and even sometimes immunotherapy to attack and properly treat those cancers. And what invita does in its techniques is to get all of the right genetic immunotherapy targets just for that cancer to help you. Now, I have to make this very clear, because pancreatic cancer is one of the most difficult cancers really to treat. And we've been doing this for 20 years working with the most difficult cancers. No, we don't have an automatic cure or something that's automatic for pancreatic cancers, but what we have is the technology to target it. And what we have seen in some of the patients we've treated has been really wonderful and exciting. And we're starting to see people that can respond to treatment, improve life, quality of life. And we're continuing to work on those targets more and more to help our patients respond to care. So I don't want you to lose hope if you have pancreatic cancer. I just want you to get a better game plan, something that's targeted for you, giving you the best chance to respond to care. May God bless you on your journey to healing. And we have teams standing by to help you. We can review your medical records. Our physicians can take a look at everything you've done and see if you're a candidate for the care that we offer here, here to help you, to help you respond better to treatment.
